36: Contrepreneurs, Wantrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs - Mike Winnet- UKs #1 Demotivational Speaker

Mike Winnet is the UK's #1 demotivational speaker. He is the antidote to 'Contrepreneurs' that sell instant success formulas to 'Wantrepreneurs' who are never going to make it and are just wasting their money.He believes that most people are average and should not harbour lofty ambitions to achieve their dreams and should be much happier with a simple life.Needless to say, this sparks an interesting debate between Mike and the Growth Mindset host Sam.You have the same number of hours in the day as the world’s most successful people. What you lack is their drive, work ethic, and talent. That’s why they are more successful than you. - Mike WinnetLESSONSDON’T BE A CONTREPRENEUR!I had only thought about how i could try to convince people that they can do more with their lives but really i want to help them live the best life they can. I don’t want to be another contrepreneur selling the message that anyone can be successful with these 5 simple tricks or something and never want to be selling conferences and course that will change your life to people whose lives I can’t change.I really don’t want to push the message at all that things are easy or that you can get the key to happiness or success by just listening to me, you definitely have to take on the growth mindset and acknowledge and work at your weaknesses. recognise your strengths and where you can develop further and optimise your time for learning and executing and not just consuming more knowledge endlessly. anyway its a humbling realisation to be told that I could be selling false dreams to my listeners but it’s great to make sure I focus on really only making content that is really useful and isn’t just click-baity crap.YOU ARE THE CONTENT YOU CONSUMESo important these days. it’s super easy to get caught up with your social media feed and going on a 2 hour youtube binge or watching netflix or love island (well at least that’s what i hear, i could literally never watch love island) but anyway the point is that the internet and technology is a real amplifier and can be dangerous.It gives great access to science and learning but at the same time unlimited content that it useless and depending on what you choose to consume will really affect you. You are the direct result of the information your taking in and if your constantly on social media then your never going to be successful and you are pretty much just making yourself stupider. if you can optimise your time for reading quality content and learning then the world is your oysterYOU CAN’T BUY INSTANT SUCCESSWether someone is selling the key to business success or a zero to hero coding course in three months the facts of life is that you nothing is that easy. Anyone offering something like this is a liar and you are literally wasting your money if you expect to just pay £1000 and have everything sorted out for you. It takes work.To run a business you need to dedicate all the hours to get it off the ground. To become a coder you need to really learn the fundamentals before paying for any bootcamp course or you have no chance of learning much at all whilst you are there. Trust me!BOOKSRICHARD TEMPLAR - THE RULES OF WEALTH (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1292086432/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=4802d-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1292086432&linkId=494d6d46b134a16fbc063b027346bf85)The Rules of Wealth' is a set of behaviours that separate the wealthier from the less wealthy. They are a personal code for a more prosperous life.ARE YOU AVERAGE - MIKE WINNET40 TELL TALE SIGNS THAT YOU ARE AVERAGE.Motivational speakers like Tony Robbins have got ordinary Joe’s like you so pumped up and ready to “crush it", that society is overrun with wannabe entrepreneurs. And that's dangerous. The rise of social media has got everyone believing they can run an online business. But if everyone is focused on their side hustle, who's going to do the real jobs?So this book is to stop any idea you may have of making the world a better place and just getting you to accept this is it.

35: Quit Your Job and Travel to Find Success - Kat Wczesniak

Kat started her first business with no clue about business and just a passion for travel. She grew the brand into a successful travel company Curious Kats Adventure Club and got paid to live her wildest dreams. She sold the business after 5 years and started a marketing agency based on all her lessons.We recount her biggest lessons and stories along with top advice to do things that scare and improve you everyday.> ”Just do stuff, if it scares you that’s even better” - Kat WczesniakLESSONSKat didn’t follow some course or read a book to start her business. she didn’t pay some guru like Gary V to turn her into a millionaire or something, she just did stuff.

34: Business and Legal Lessons from a Life in Tech - Anthony Rose "The man who saved the BBC"

TOP LESSONS FROM A LIFE LAUNCHING WORLD CHANGING TECHAnthony is known for his work managing the launch of the BBC's iPlayer, for which Wired UK named him "the man who saved the BBC". He has founded/co-founded multiple companies including; Beamly, 6Tribes, Hey Blab, KaZaa and QJAM.He is the current CEO of SeedLegals, the world’s first legal automation platform for startup funding. Rose currently holds 14 patents and has won numerous awards for his contributions to the digital product industry.SEEDLEGALSAfter making his stamp on how we consume audio and TV in the age of the internet, Anthony started Seed Legals to turn legal services into a digital service accessible to anyone. Seedlegals was started to solve his own problems and help save founders time and money to quickly get the solution they need from a team who understand startups and law. In the episode, he recounts some of the best advice possible for any founder considering starting a business and raising money, educating us about the biggest mistakes founders make and the top tips for growing a business successfully. TOP TIPSThis is a grossly short list of the million things I learnt in this podcast…HAVE A FOUNDER AGREEMENTThis is one piece of advice I do have experience in and I tell you what it saved my life. THERE ARE GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES TO RAISE INVESTMENTDon’t try to raise at the same time as launching a product. Finding traction will be slower than any estimate and make it hard to raise money (and will probably just be made slower by trying to raise and not focussing on your business). The best times to make your first raise are before you have a product launched or after you have demonstrated traction. SHOUT ABOUT YOUR BIZMake yourself seem big by trying to appear everywhere, Engage wherever you can in news, meet-ups, on-line groups and anywhere you can get your name out, (try appearing in podcasts!) When small it is really important to appear like you are ‘organised’ and ‘everywhere’ and this can really boost your returns from marketing and client conversations and is also a huge boost in your ability to attract talent that you need to grow your business.

I have been running side projects since I can remember with plenty of success and failure and a whole bunch of lessons learnt.

31: Foolproof Success with Bryony Thomas - Author & Founder of Watertight Marketing

PUBLISHING AND BUSINESS LESSONS FROM A MARKETING MASTERBryony Thomas has run her own marketing agency Watertight Marketing for ten years and has written an amazing book of the same title. Watertight Marketing is one of the best business books I have ever read so I’m honoured to have her on the show.She takes us through her story of starting the business and launching a sell out book, key insights into turning a traditional time based business into a scalable machine that creates value for thousands of people. Along with some amazing life advice.TAKES HOMES FROM THE EPISODESLOW AND STEADY SUCCESSHer book took 4 years to write and the workbooks another year. All the rest of the content and video’s have been in ongoing production ever since. It’s not overnight success. It’s slow and steady iteration and well thought out actions and improvements. and it’s genius!STEP AWAY FROM YOUR BUSINESS TO SCALE ITScale yourself by stepping away from your business and not working IN your business and instead working ON it. A very four hour work week philosophy of forcing yourself to get away from things to make it work from a distance.STICK TO YOUR VALUESBe true to yourself and Don’t let people change your values or style. bryony didn’t let anyone change her title or direction of her book. Equally when she doesn’t work on the things that offer money straight away so that she knows she is working on the things she really values and wants to achieve in the long-term. This helps her avoid getting stuck of the cycle of work you don’t want. PUBLISHERS DON’T HELPDo your own good marketing! publishers don’t do stuff for you and it is hard. and crowdfunding can be a great way to get some people behind your book and help sell it for you. and will motivate you to bloody finish it. STUDY THE BEST BOOKSyou don’t learn much by reading once. re-read the really good books several times so that you are actually a knowledgable person in it. MARKETING MINDSET PODCASTI am launching a new podcast called Marketing Mindset (see what I did there). It’s going to be part of my new business Postary. It’s a platform for easily sending amazing direct mail from the safety of your laptop and digital tools that people need these days like analytics and personalisation which was something you could never do before with the offline channel of print marketing. And whats more it’s all eco friendly. Bryony is one of the first guests on the Marketing Mindset podcast and we have a specific marketing interview.
